A Happy w Wedding.


Never within the memory of the O Id
est resident has such exuberance Of hi
lraious been witnessed as on Bear creek at
house of Mr.. John Kessler. The occa-
sion of such f~estivity and mirth was the
exit of Mr.. Kessler from a state of matri-
monial blessedness. Mr.. Kessler is one
of the oldest and most respected settlers
in this vicinity whose liberal and phil
anthrophic hand has become proverbial
for adjusting the latch string for the
weary wayfarer. 1t was natural to expect
a hilarious time, especially as Mr.. Kessler
for two months previous had been
making ample preparations for the event
with his wonted liberality.
From early morn men, women and
children, in all styles of conveyance
were seen vending their way to the
scene of mirth and iollity. MI. Kessler,
having been fortunate in securing the
services of one of the best French cooks
in the West, of course bad everything in
apple pie order, and the tables spread
with such delicacies that they fairly
groaned under their load. The festivity
and dancing was kept up with undated
vigor and perfect harmony until Old Sol
had arisen to his zenith the following
day. The presents were numerous and
some of them very costly.

TIE NUT
A Most ENJOYABLE Event Occurs at
Y. NJ. G.. A. Hail..

Everybody knows what it is now, and
everybody who attended it last night is
satisfied. 1t refers to the nut carnival
given by the ladies' of the Presbyterian
church at Y. NJ. G. A. hall last evening.
The recipe for the famous entertain
ment is rather a simple one, though some
OF the ingredients are often difficult to
obtain. 1t is this: A large and beauti-
fully decorated hall filled with tables,
handsome ladies and any number of gal
lants. AT a number of tables choice food,
including oysters cooked by Chas. Cush,
inberry and wife, will be served. On the
remainder are nuts-all kinds of nuts in
all conditions, candies, flowers and fancy
goods. Behind these tables must be
seated handsome young ladies, brilliantly
attired. Then you have the best OF all
church entertainments nut carnival.
Following is a list of the various tables
and ladies presiding and selling the wares
displayed:
Whole nuts-Mrs. Mills, assisted by
Mrs. Patton and Lizzie Whitcomb.
Pitted nuts-Mrs. Doudy and Mrs.
Mann.
Candy-Mrs. L. S. N. Morgan. Mrs.
Brash and Miss Marshall.
Fancy goods-Mrs. Welchans and Mary
Woods.
Cake and chocolate-Mrs. Jenkins,
Mrs. Tenny, Miss Casey and Miss Mar
shall.
Doughnuts-Mrs. Breckons and Mrs
Pratt.
Flowers-Mrs. Heath, Misses CrooE
and Horrie.
A pretty conceit sold at the fancy table
was a dead branch on which was mounted
curiously formed peanuts painted as owls.
AT the donghnut table Mrs. Pratt aud
Mrs. Breckons donated a cup and sau.
Ger to every customer. They did a thirty
ing business.
Mrs. Ed. Nash, assisted by the Misses
Mcdonnell. Davis and Vreeland, super
vised operations in the kitchen.
The affair vas exceedingly well patron
lied and was successful in ever particular,
and there is already talk of giving anoth.
er nut carnival in the near future.

Died at Los Angeles.

John Eames, who several weeks since
left this city and settled on the Pacific
coast, in the hope that his health might
be benefited by the balmy cline Of
Southern California, died at Los Angeles
yesterday, aged 81 years. He leaves a
wife and three married daughters, Mrs.
A. G. Dobbins, Mrs. Stone and MIS-.
Lepper.
Deceased was well known in this city,
and enjoyed the friendship and confidence
of all. He was a pioneer, having settled
in Cheyenne before it could boast a single
substantial edifce.
Deceased was quite a character, being
rather odd in many ways, but nevel
allowing his eccentricities to interfere
with his duties as a husband, father and
citizen.

Information was received in this city
yesterday that Geo. l.. Aggers, the oil
expert interviewed by The LEADER some
three weeks since, had discovered a flow
ing well of petroleum near the head of
Poison Spider creek in Albany county.
Officials of the Northwestern railway are
interested in the find and will doubtless
make good their promises to tap the oil
fields next spring in case the development
work prosecuted this winter resulted favor
ably.

HE WAS EXCITED.
A Man Who Took Exception to a Few
Kindly Words.

A heavy set man, with great abdominal
development, a massive protuberant jaw
and a forehead which reached clean back
to his neck paced excltedly up and down
the depot platform yesterday morning.
HIS principal attire was a big oyercoat, the
tails of which Topped with sickening thuds
against his heels as he walked. He was
apparently angry for he spoke necessarily
in a voice which resembled a hoarse fog
horn and made several desperate but una
Yaillng efforts to tear his hair out by the
roots. The fact that he didn't have any
hair never seemed to occur to him in his
excitement.
The individual was Diamond Davis
alias Alvin Joslin,' the great American
transformer.
Many people who didn't know him
imagined the man to be insane, but he
was no more insane than a man would
naturally become in playing Alviin Josltin.
Great Gawd," he yelled, wildly glaring
around, that l should live to see me
play thus rldiculed by a common news
paper" and he wildly clutched a moist
copy of THE LEADER in his capacious
paw.
What does the fellers mean-do they
want a litrey play2 Now, I've got a good
clean litrey play, and I'll bet a cool hun
dred she won't make a CO."
"Ratsl" yelled a newsboy, as the great
transformer paused for sympathy.
"Il stake a tenner that the teller what
wrote that piece in the paper wears a
silver watch; while look at me-" he said,
as he clutched a gold chain as big as a
cable and hauled up out of his pocket a
watch that glistened with diamonds like a
a new milk pan in the midday sun.
II tell you I'm a bird, a genuine old
cuckoo in the show business, and | don't
take no pointers from no man. I'm
making carloads of money and always go
loaded to the muzzle," he said as he
fshed a handful of uncut diamonds out
Of his overcoat pocket.
Alum" yelled a boy on the outskirts
of the crowd.
Alum" he shrieked, me diamonds
alum Great Gawd, let me at him."
But the train was ready to pull out and
the theatrical ham had just time to catch
On to the rear car where he stood wildly
iabbering to the passing zephyrs.
Alum was the last word that could
be heard and it was spoken in the tone of
a man dying of a broken heart.

Now that the great Gerster's voice has

A Remarkable Trick.

Thirty years ago one of the fam
Gus elephants that travelled In this
country was "Old Columbus"
During one Of his summer trips
through Virginia he stopped at the
town of D.. In the neighbor
ing town Of H a boy familiarly
call Dave, and notorious for leader
ship in all kinds of mischevious
tricks, determined to show off be-
fore the. other boys at "Old Colum-
bns'" expense, and invited several
of his companions to go with him.
Having come to the elephants
stable, Dave gave him, first, candy,
then cake, and finally cried: "Now
boysw and slipped piece of to-
tbacco into his proboscis, intending
to get out Of danger and enjoy
Old Columbus disgust and anger.
But before he could move, Col
umbus seized him and whirled him
upward through the opening over
head against the roof of the stable.
Unhurt by his unexpected "rise"
Dave dropped on the hay-mow.
The other boys supposing this to be
the trick promised them, cried out
In admiration:
"Dave, Dave, do that againw
Dave, comfortably seated out of
harms way, very earnestly an
swered:
"No, boys! I only do that trick
once dayw-Youth's Companion.

Current Coin of Society.

Good breeding is the current coin
of society. He who is bankrupt
therein ought not to take rank with
the rest. The defaulting Lombard
had his bench broken in full con-
.clave, and was chased out of the
street where his better endowed
Brethren carried on their business
What the I'D money-changers and
money lenders did with their
defaulting members society ought
to do with the ill-bred-to the peo-
pie who oppose all you say for the
mere sake of opposing you, and not
for anything approaching to prin-
tciple; who contradict you fatty and
not apologize when they are proved
in the wrong; who tell you home
truths of bilious complexion and
vinegar aspect; who repeat ILL.,
natured remarks made in their pre-
.sence, or repeated to them, making
you feel scorned and despised, you
know not why, and vilified without
the chance given you of self-justifi-
cation; who abuse your own friends,
and ascribe to them all the sins of
the decalogue; who brutally attack
your known principles in religion,
morals, politics; who sneer at your
cherished superstitions and fall foul
of your confessed weaknesses; who
take the upper hand of you gener
ally, not counting your SUSCEPTIBLE
ties as worth the traditional button.
Such people as these-and there are
many of them masquerading as
ladies and gentlemen of good posi-
tion and irreproachable credentials
but, no matter what their lineage
or fortune, they should be cashier
ed, and society would be all the
sweeter and more wholesome for
the want of them.-London Queen.

his home near this place, after an
absence Of some years in the west.
Fields Is known far and wide as
the "Mathematical Prodigy" and,
indeed, he Is II most wonderful crea-
.ture. Perfectly illiterate, not being
able to tell one letter or figure from
another, he bears the same relation
to the science of mathematics that
Blind Tom does to music. Fields Is
now about twenty-eight years #
age, and his ability to quickly and
correctly solve the most difficult
problems was discovered when he
was but eight years old. That
faculty continued to develop until
he is able to solve, with lightning
like rapidity, any problem in simple
or compound fractions, of anything
in the higher branches of mathe-
MATES. For instance, the moon Is
IL certain number of miles from the
earth; a grain of corn is so long;
how many grains will 1t take to
connect the points? The answer
to this or any other problem comes
like a flash. He can also tell to the
fraction of second the time of day
or night. This marvellous man has
been tested by the most expert
mathematicians and his ans yer to
problems have been found to be in
variably correct. Scientists have
examined Fields's head and pro-
nOunce his wondrously developed
faculty profound mystery to them.
Fields knows little else than this
extraordinary ability. He claims
that his power in this respect is II
direct gift from his Creator and
liable to be taken away from him
if not properly used. The possessor
of this gift never went to school a
day in his life, and never did days
work, except to occasionally aid
merchants in invoicing their goods,
and in this business he has been
known to keepa score or more Of
clerks busy footing up columns of
figures. He is very large man
and has look the reverse of intel
ligent. Having no occupation, he
lives among his arquaintances, put
ting up wherever night .overtakes
him. He is very proud of his gift
and frequently compares himself
to Samson. Fields gave an exhibi-
tion of his powers before Gov.
Crittenden and other distinguished
men of Missouri on a late visit
West, and they unhesitatingly pro-
nounce him one of the greatest
wonders of the century.

Oats as a Nerve Food.

The Farm Journal has the follow
ing remarks on the value of oats as
q nerve food for horses: "Oats are
said, by scientist who has brought
his battery to bear on a horse, to
have an exciting power. The effects
on the nerves and muscles were
tested after eating oats and COM
pared with their excitablity before
eating. Old horsemen know that
oats will make horse more lively
or active than other grain. They
contain nerve and muscle food, or
the elements to supply the wear
and waste of these parts, and no
doubt they stimulate them also.
They contain, according to this
authority, anitrogenized substance
peculiar to themseles. All oats con-
tain this peculiar property, but the
black oats have the most. When
oats are ground the exciting effect
is reduced in strength and dura-
tion, but its effects are more active
This peculiar substance is called
avenine. The soil wbers oats are
grown makes a difference in the
amount of avenine produced. Fur
ther investigation must be made to
determine the kind of soil best ad-
spted to produce the nerve power
OF oats. This Is getting farming
down to q Ane point. Here 10 an
opening for the jockeys. II they
had the secret and could select
their oats. how they could skip by
the other fellows who thought one
pst was ~ good % another. The
weight OF the meat Of the oat does
not make the difference, as thesub-
stance ts just underneath the skin,
and not spparent without analysis.

Women d own quicker than men
and life-savers of the sea-beach say
they are harder to save. They are
harder to save, because they in.
variably clutch for a rescuer's
hands, and cling to them as long rs
they can. Their clutch, too, is
tighter than that of q man. The
reason they drown quicker is they
keep their mouth open when they
are under water, thus allowing
their lungs to be filed, and they
